I don’t know if this happens to you, but my daughter would prefer NOT to learn from me. She will work on writing her letters, draw the ‘Z’ backwards, and prefers to leave it that way rather than have me correct it.

The Countdown to Kindergarten
Delaney starts kindergarten in 4 days. That is a mere 96 hours that I have left to keep her all to myself. And then, I must let her go. The thought makes me smile.
